To be clear:

git checkout origin/v4-11-test && PYTHON=python2 ./configure 

Checking for program 'python3'  : /usr/bin/python3 
Checking for python version >= 3.4.0 : 2.7.17 
The python version is too old, expecting (3, 4, 0)
(complete log in /home/abartlet/samba/bin/config.log)


git checkout origin/v4-11-test && PYTHON=python2 ./configure --disable-python

Gives:
--disable-python requires --without-ad-dc

git checkout origin/v4-11-test && PYTHON=python2 ./configure --disable-python --without-ad-dc

Gives:
'configure' finished successfully (1m10.383s)

So, this was never about Samba as an AD DC (a feature fond to my heart).
